Website work! Comms and Technology are continuing to work hard to produce a brand new website in time for Christmas. Here they are sorting through the many articles on the current website! There’s still time to let us know what you think of our current website. All you need to do is complete just five questions and we’d really appreciate your help. Take the survey here. In the spotlight! Celebrating success Homes and Communities Kent celebrated smashing their 2014/15 targets in style! The team held a variety of presentations sharing their work a chievements, and held some fun team building games in between. There was even a fun photo booth to get a team picture taken! They’re now set to ‘Make the Boat Go Faster’ in 2015/16! Michelle’s a TV star! Real Ale Gala Our Extra Care scheme Regis Gate, in Sittingbourne, held its very first Real Ale Gala on Saturday 1 August. Christine Brown, Claire Brooks and Sharon Glover organised the day which was supported by residents. The event raised over £200 which will go towards future activities at the scheme. Full house! Michelle Richards, Housing Officer in London, recently featured in the BBC documentary Council House Crackdown. The programme featured an unlawful sub-letting case she’d investigated.Michelle was extremely confident and did a fantastic job representing AmicusHorizon. The documentary highlighted the significant impact tenancy fraud has on social landlords and the public purse. Michelle said: “I’m glad the case I jointly investigated with Lambeth Council was covered. This was our first ever prosecution under the Prevention of Social Housing Fraud Act 2013.” Eyes down… We hope you enjoyed July’s Fun Factor event as we played bingo with a difference! This was a fantastic opportunity to get together across teams and build on our ‘One Team’ culture. Our next Fun Factor is all about Random Acts of Kindness. You may have heard about this. Don’t forget to share your stories of Random Acts of Kindness by emailing Tina Edwards. We’ll include some of the best acts in the next edition of Teamtalk!
